Simple answer Walley - winter is fast approaching, and what better to way to keep up with the Jones's, actually, just plain own the Jones's and desecrate the property of the Jones's (if you so wished) than by selling the Lude and buying a Hi Lux

In some cases yes, ie if you look at the 200SX, bang for buck, nothing beats it (appart from stuff you build yourself and other cars in crap condition) but I doubt I'll buy Jap again. I'm probably going to buy sensible next time due to house/wedding coming up in May, but next time I want and can afford a toy, I'm more likely to buy American.

After raising the back end I am now a little more positive about the car. Since I really don't know what other car I would have right now it seems logical to run around in the Lude but then I think what's the point of keeping the car rough if I do.

Paint would still need doing, I'd want it blown over at least and the rear bumper repairing.

Not sure how much that would be... Â£300?

Idealy I'd like to get some better suspension on the car, Koni shocks and springs Â£365

Would like to get the back box changed for something a bit more tollerable Â£100

Getting to Â£2500 here

Respected induction kit Â£120

With a good clean up and engine bling I think the car would be worth at least Â£2500. But it would possibly take a bit longer to sell. But with those bits it would have most of the parts people want to stick on their Lude.

Totalling all that up for circa Â£2500 and then selling the car for Â£2500, its a lot of effort just to break even isn't it? Plus If you're duplicating parts like changing the induction kit and the exhaust isn't that more money spent but with no chance of getting it back? Suppose you could sell them on eBay, but still..

Just sounds like a lot of work for no real use thats all. Besides, I know you'll do all that stuff, stand back, like the car and not want to sell it.
